AMENITIES & ACTIVITIES

This property is special for many reasons. 4 Native American tribes like the Navajo, Jiccoria-Apache, the Utes & the Lakota have lived in this area for millennia before parents of the famous William Price family homesteaded it in late 1800s and named it Chromo- which means "colorful" in Greek. Price wrote many books on the local wildlife and has the Price Lakes named after him in the surrounding San Juan National Forest. The natural beauty, convenient location and unique architectural details make it a special experience for any guest.

Guests can hike up the forest trails in the San Juan National Forest with the access road being just a mile from the ranch. Soak in 360 degree views of the Archuleta Mesa, the Banded peaks that are a part of the Continental Divide and the many local attractions making this a great year around place to visit. During the summer months enjoy river rafting, local food & music festivals, kayaking and tubing in nearby Pagosa Springs with its fun restaurants. Wolf Creek lake and other water bodies allow for kayaking and boating activities. Visit the Pagosa Springs visiter center online and the Chama visitor page in NM for local events and tourist attractions like the single gauge railroad ride that takes you across scenic parts of these mountains.
